Abstract
We have developed a new method of determining nuclear spinlattice relaxation times of dilute impurity nuclei in non-magnetic host metals. Direct measurement of these extremely rapid relaxation times has hitherto been difficult. The present method is based on fast pulsed heating of a sample containing oriented radioactive nuclei and is applicable to a wide range of impurity-host combinations and over a large range of applied magnetic fields. Results are presented for extremely dilute Mn in noble metal hosts.
